The Cauvery water dispute continues as the Tamil Nadu assembly passed a resolution opposing the proposed Mekedatu dam project. The state government stated that access to water is a basic right for its people, noting that the dam could affect farmers in the delta region. The resolution urged the central government to withhold all clearances for the project.
The state governor supported this stance during an assembly address, mentioning the existing struggles to secure water shares.
